Book Sale! EPIC recently received a generous book donation of hundreds of brand new, hard back, botanical and animal related coffee table books with full color illustrations. These books would easily be worth 30 or 40 dollars in a store (and some are listed for up to $150 new on Amazon.com) but we are offering most of them for a donation of $10-20! Books make great gifts and proceeds go to a good cause. So come down on December 10th from 5-9pm during Arts Arcata, and pick up some awesome books for your family and friends! See you there!

Art exhibitions include displays by aerial photographer Patrick Cudahy, landscape photographer Peter Carlson, local glass artist James Shelton and feather and ink artist Noel Soucy.
J. Patrick Cudahy features amazing aerial photography from his series “Above the Secret Space of Tides.” The exhibit includes photographs of Northcoast estuaries taken from a small airplane, 1000 to 3000 feet high. This aerial perspective reveals the Northcoast in a way not seen before.
Peter Carlson is a Northern spotted owl biologist who photographs owls and the beautiful places in which they live. His photographs depict the wild landscapes and critters here in the pacific northwest. EPIC works to protect many of the places that Carlson has captured in his photographs.
James Shelton is a glass artist who creates three dimensional glass sculptures of whimsical floral arrangements. He twirls glass tubing into conical flares that are transformed into the blossoms on his floral sculptures. His displays will include Botanical floral sculptures and miscellaneous “antiquish bottles”.
Noel Soucy is a biologist and a copetitioner for listing the Humboldt marten as an endangered species. Her colorful caricatures are created with ink dipped feathers, depicting many of the species she works with in the field, including the Northern spotted owl, the Humboldt marten and other critters of the Northcoast.
